I think I am now just starting to see everyone else's point about going for it on fourth.

Praters earned his contract this year, Colquitt has not.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 17:43:20

Frustrating.

$$ Prater? Needed that.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 17:42:55

brilliant. lets go ultra-conservative. throw in some key injuries for good measure.

He just got hit in the family stones.

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 17:40:26

Orange Julius!!!! What a great call, and throw.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 17:39:59

Julius Thomas beats a linebacker in single coverage every time

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 17:39:48

Denver fg = 16-point lead = still a two possession game..

Posted by NorBronco on 2014-01-19 17:39:28

That was a compromise kick.

Posted by DCJ1 on 2014-01-19 17:39:03

That situation (unlike outside the pocket) is a judgment call, not a bright-line rule. Brady dumped it to avoid getting creamed, the throw was at best, in the neighborhood, with no chance for completion. Tom does the same thing frequently when he fires the ball seven rows up in the endzone seats and never gets called for it.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 17:38:33

I doubt it since a short-field FG is really damaging... but better safe than sorry

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 17:38:22

Every time it feels like a game is put away, the other team scores a TD. It's almost a guarantee.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-01-19 17:37:57

I saw three on that drive at were uncalled. I'm sure Simms would tell us it's the way it is and refs are right.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 17:37:51

Needed a sack or INT in that loopy pass to 11 while we had mitts on Brady!

Posted by Uncle Rico on 2014-01-19 17:37:37

They have to be on high alert for it.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 17:37:24

What are the odds on an onside kick from NE this early?

Posted by DCJ1 on 2014-01-19 17:37:23

When you remember last years playoffs and this years game in New England, you will join me in feeling nervous til final whistle.

And an onside kick especially makes me nervous.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 17:36:53

Damn. They didn't take enough time off the clock there. The Denver injuries were a real help to NE.

Posted by DCJ1 on 2014-01-19 17:36:18

No conservative offense here. Play action and move the ball. 5 minutes and a fg at least..

Posted by GoBroncos816 on 2014-01-19 17:35:57

That drive was snakebitten in so many ways.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 17:35:57

Need a measly FG drive here to go to Super Bowl. Let's go fellas!

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 17:35:55

Time for the offense to have one of those monstrous drives they´ve done so well today.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 17:35:40

oh well, lets take off another 5 minutes, add another score....

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 17:35:39

and the ref ran out clearly pointing at him immediately making the call

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 17:35:26

Does every game have to be like this?

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-01-19 17:35:24

Statement of the obvious: Vereen needs to be better covered.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 17:35:11

for what is generally called grounding I considered this a fine call , the WR was 5 ft away

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 17:34:36

Danny saved his own ass there.

DEF of course does need to actually play

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 17:29:46

or they could have scored the TD, and the game would be over. Assuming this is not facetious.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 17:29:46

Figure it out, D.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 17:29:45

I don't hate that TO call, because it does make us able to ice it with a FG, and I do think in terms of clock management, 3 TDs if dfferent than a FG because you can't do a quick drive in FG range, kick, and then get it back again.

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 17:29:24

never mind

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 17:28:45

Why isn't someone from booth in Fox's ear about going for it there? Hated the shovel pass. Should've let Moreno pound it in.

Posted by Uncle Rico on 2014-01-19 17:27:26

Nah, no NE player was near it. Just Peyton´s touch.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 17:27:10

It also puts it one fg away from game over. Or one stop, of course.

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 17:26:49

The throw to JT looked like it was tipped at the line?? It was tumbling when it arrived.

Posted by VonSwenson on 2014-01-19 17:26:12

I thought Peyton would be enough, but clearly not!

Posted by NorBronco on 2014-01-19 17:26:08

I heard that they have a 4th down calculator online. Maybe they can get a programmer to make it small enough for Fox to use on the sidelines?

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 17:25:14

"Kicking the field goal made absolutely no sense there. What's the difference between being up 17 or up 20?"

2 touchdowns + field goal vs 3 touchdowns

Posted by dextermilo on 2014-01-19 17:24:24

It was three scores before, it was three scores after. The numbers say they forfeited over a point in expected value there, and with Broncos O, probably more than that. Cant the Broncos hire a competent analytics person that Fox will fucking listen to?

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 17:24:06

We'll be just fine. Just...fine.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 17:23:35

It was a perfect throw. JT needs to focus a bit more there. Still, fabulous drive. Penalties won´t slow down the Broncos today.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 17:23:31

Should have gone for that. Going from a 17 to a 20 pt lead does nothing

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 17:23:25

This is the part of the game that scares me the most...

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 17:23:13

This is a good matchup game now... Pat's have no matchups for our WR's. They don't have good matchups on our CB's... Just have to exploit now.

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:55:48

Serious question... when was the last Bronco INT BEFORE Mike Adams? I honestly have no idea.

Decker has his concentration hat on today....he's pretty solid when he does.

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:42:48

I think we have a 70% chance of winning the game as it stands.

how do you like the chances to do all of that? Or most of that?

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 16:41:52

Well if you ask Flacco, he's the sole reason we only have 3/4 of the best qbs of all time in the building

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:41:07

I just have the feeling that Denver is going to start heating up on offense, starting with the opening drive. The Pats D has done okay so far, but I think that only lasts so long.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:40:44

Pregame there were talks about Colin Kapernick pulling Flacco like monies if he won today... that would be a colossal failure from the 49ers office if they did.

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 16:40:00

What the Broncos need to do in the second half to win the game:

Offense:- Abuse the middle of the field in the passing attack. I would personally run seams and posts up to divide the two back safeties all game long. And then when the safeties start to condense, I would run a "Smash" concept (inside reciever runs a corner and outside receiver runs a five yard hitch).- Don't abandon the running game just yet. Give it time. Belichick is going to do something different (adjust), so its best to not become one-dimensional. - THREE VERTS with play action will work against 2 deep man coverage.

Defense:- The Patriots usually save Shane Vereen's back-door routes for the second half. If you let Vereen get behind route combos open, he will hurt you tremendously.- Brady is going to throw it over 20 times this half, play 2 deep coverage and trust that your front four can get after the passer. I would even throw the occassional "sugar" blitz to get interior pressure on Brady.- The corners need to play INSIDE leverage on the Pats WRs to minimize their Hi- Lo combo routes. Get rid of that and execute in all other phases, and you win the game.

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 16:37:47

I've noticed a pattern of opposing QBs missing a lot of passes when facing Denver. I don't believe it's a coincidence.

holy shit did you guys see how Colin Kapernick had his hat backwards! Id never want him on my team, but sign me up for a wife misplacing her assault rifle in an airport parking lot... (both received equal scrutiny I think)

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:36:29

We thought it was game done with the lead we had last time going into the half. So I guess it will always be interesting with these two teams. It is better than losing at the half, but the offence seems to be clicking more than last time despite the lead..more long drives being put together instead of being handed a short field. Though I would gladly take some turnovers from the Pats next half ;)

Posted by chinny on 2014-01-19 16:36:04

The other DBs respect Jammer enough that I can understand why fox would do it, but I doubt he makes that mistake ever again

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:35:08

Noticed how tight he´s been in coverage? There was a sideline throw in the second quarter where you couldn´t have slipped a sheet of paper between him and his receiver.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:33:37

its also 10 (rather than 20) not 24 this time, thus my lamentation. Pats probably the 2nd best 2nd half team in league. Hope the best outplays them again. Also Fox/Del Rio pulled the same bull in that 1st game... dominant 1st half and great drive and we called an inside run on 3rd and 16 and settled for a FG in the redzone. Plus the run defense has been solid, but the coverage has been shaky, only Brady's missed throws helped.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:33:29

Nervous. Wish we could have limited them to 3 in second half. We need a long TD drive here

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 16:33:23

Unfortunately that could change next play

I forgot to comment - Tamme, you're the man!

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 16:32:42

Denver on defense has only really been susceptible to the passes to the backs and tight ends. Kinda curious when you knew going into the game that it's basically all they do.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:32:17

Brady has not been his usual comfortably cocky being behind the pocket. Whatever the crowd and the defense is doing to make him uneasy is working good.

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 16:32:16

Agree, I think he had the guy blanketed there...

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:32:07

Once again, the Broncos are keeping it interesting when the game should be over.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 16:31:03

I am convinced Jammer was only active because it was the Chargers, TC is the clear option, at times last year we were proclaiming him a big part of the future

People turned fast this offseason when we got DRC said to trade him, Depth baby, that is how to win championships

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:30:38

I think Sticky might have know his receiver had run out of bounds. He made great use of the sideline.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:30:16

But in the playoffs he´s greater than anyone who has ever made Simms want to wax poetic, don´t you know?

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:30:15

DRC is healthy this time and Brady is off target on deep throws. This is not a repeat broadcast of the previous game.

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 16:29:46

In Manning we trust

Shoot, I'll take it. It is playoff football after all.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 16:28:18

I see your point. It makes a lot of sense. Maybe Fox didn't have confidence in his running game?

We're winning... how can you not be a fan of that?

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 16:28:10

I would have liked to go for it on 4th, but being up 10 at half isn't bad

Posted by Charles Burnette on 2014-01-19 16:28:07

not at all a fan of that half. left at least 10 points on the field.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:27:51

Peyton always wants to go for it, except when the smart thing to do is to punt or kick it. In other words, do what Peyton wants!

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:27:50

Held them to 3 in the half.... can't complain there....

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:27:34

Brady is off the mark this half. Nice.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 16:26:51

Champ looking energetic, yes? Although I saw him blitz once and he looked a bit slow.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 16:26:28

Manning was perfect and Fox yanked him. And I believe Manning was none too pleased about it.

he wasn't actually off sides I think

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:26:01

that too. Just all around dumb. Too conservative and poor clock management.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:25:48

Giving the Patriots some clock and a TO so that Fox could equivocate before regressing is miserable.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 16:25:11

Likely, but it's still frustrating.

The ones in Belichick's forehead are about to explode

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 16:24:49

Thats why I think points maximization, even if riskier, is the smarter call there

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 16:24:43

Wasn't sure what I felt about that but when Simms said he agreed with it that sealed it for me, was wrong decision. ;). BUT I'm glad they drove, kept it away from Brady, scored, and get ball back to start second. But no terrible defense here please.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 16:24:36

disagree. Mathematically, the closer the game the MORE going for it there matters.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:24:31

I think if we kick off second half, they go for it.

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:24:24

Instead of the jugular, we'll go for some minor vein then.

Posted by laosuan on 2014-01-19 16:24:00

the announcers kill me. with this much time left against Brady, 10points is no different than 7. They can't stop us, so really dont like that call

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 16:23:53

My problem is the time-out.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:23:39

That decision will be viewed in light of the result of the first drive of the second half...

Posted by Rhett Rothberg on 2014-01-19 16:23:30

Ugh, fox ball. When Simms likes how conservative you are, you have a problem

Posted by Charles Burnette on 2014-01-19 16:23:30

Gorgeous passes and drive thus far. But Fox bungled the time management there.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:23:13

Smart call by Fox there. Every point is valuable in this type of game.

OMG Timeout then fg is dumb... smart observation Jeem.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:22:29

Which could hose us on this series. Montee had the entire sideline available to him, too.

Yep, he was beat to the edge, and without the hold he has a blindside strip chance on Manning... good hold

Posted by cjfarls on 2014-01-19 16:16:50

Yep.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:16:41

I wonder how PM might have managed without the hold... it wasn't a clear path so he has a decent shot at getting the pass away anyway.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:16:26

Getting the ball first in second half, you want to drive but also not give it up quick Anyway, they has the play call and the catch right there, just blew it with a penalty

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 16:16:26

Especially since the timing makes me think there could have been a fumble.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:16:25

They got to show that they are kinda working this game?

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 16:15:53

Wes with a couple clutch catches so far. Too bad about that one, though. I'd rather take the penalty than risk Peyton getting crushed.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:15:50

That was no worse than the NE holding. Wonder why the refs called it?

Posted by DCJ1 on 2014-01-19 16:15:22

As I said in earlier posts on the topic, they were picks that that very clearly showed McDaniels thought he was smarter than everyone else in the league. But while he certainly wasn't as smart as he thought he was, in some cases, I think McDaniels was smarter than given credit for....

I had trouble reading that idiot who thought Champ outside was going to problematic.

I see Ted agrees with me about Jim Nantz and his financial heroes. Do you think he has a favorite bankster he gives shout-outs to in every city he visits?

While he's on the subject of mispronouncing the name of the Broncos' starting tailback (and being paid millions to do so), maybe he can stop shovelling his cash to people who lecture ordinary working folks about the quality of the job they do.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 16:12:35

Champ is Playing really well. I wasn't sure about what would happen with him out there. Looks like he just needed the year to get healthy.

Posted by Charles Burnette on 2014-01-19 16:12:18

Maybe Ayers best sack of his young career.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 16:12:05

Good defense when it mattered. Now another long TD drive on the way to half and we will be happy campers.

Posted by DCJ1 on 2014-01-19 16:11:54

he was widely criticized for those picks and lost his job partially for such things

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 16:11:30

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 16:09:40

In other words, if there's any chance you're wrong you just took away a Bronco TD return... I thought they told officials NOT to blow whistle in possible fumble situation.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 16:09:21

Thanks a lot for you explanations, Dubs.

Brady unhappy makes me happy.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 16:08:36

I think they are playing a Cover 4 concept which tends to protect the edges more. And I think the Pats are getting 2 wide receivers in the middle zones which forces the LB in that zone to pick his poison

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 16:08:21

Nice work, crowd.

Play either Cover 1 with a robber or play loose 2 man under with at least 7 men in coverage..

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 16:06:46

Can you explain why there appears to be nobody in the middle of the field? It seems there are 10 yards between the receiver and our nearest defender.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 16:05:55

If you contain Vereen, there is a good chance you will get them to settle for a field goal.

Gase has the perfect offense to draw ANY kind of plays (that don't involve the QB running) and then see them executed perfectly on game situations. Any OC would love to have that at his disposal to create a solid playbook to use on the years to come.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:45:01

Aqib Talib is shaken up. Time to run "Three Verticals" till this team bleeds.

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:44:58

Dropped passes and turnovers, yep, those are basically the two ways we're gonna lose this game.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:44:55

C'mon DT. You're better than that.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:44:24

and Collins

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:44:16

Someone block Collins K?

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:44:00

Beadles redeemed himself on that one.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:43:18

Broncos should save that counter play for a future 3rd and 5

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:43:13

haha I admit I was yelling don't fucking run it

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:43:01

Decker really not distinguishing himself any more than TH, but I suppose no dumb mistakes is better than nothing.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:42:49

Pats hero so far is Allen their punter, by far.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:42:35

And of course we get awful field position. WTF.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:42:29

DRC back out

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:42:28

That's fair but it saved us at least 3 points

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:42:24

The Patriots punter is playing like a reincarnation of Ray Guy

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:42:17

The thought of going on 4th and short does not often cross Fox's mind, but more this season than before :)

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:42:16

Im with Simms here, I think Fox thought he would go for it at that perfect range, these coaches have learned that the hard way over the year

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:41:11

There's no way the Pats could be stupid enough to go for it on 4th and 16. I think it might have been another Phil Simms misinterpretation of the BOOK.

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:41:02

Belichick is no Whisenhunt.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:40:47

Not sure about that. My first thought was 'crap, we're playing a coach who willa ctually go for it here.'

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 15:40:20

Whattt. They're going for it? Whoa. Could be brilliant. Or not.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:40:10

Most things are.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:40:01

looked like he just got the breathe knocked out, hit to the chest, anything but the head I guess or legs, of course could be bad to the chest too

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:39:59

and concussion protocol requires leaving field so this is good.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:39:58

My heart almost stopped.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:39:56

No Simms, we were not afraid that they would go for it. We wanted to push back the field goal attempt. Too obvious for him?

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:39:46

He's up on his feet and not showing any injury!!! Sweet Cheesus

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 15:39:21

True, and a good point.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:39:08

they may have gone for it

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:38:25

Decline!

Posted by Uncle Rico on 2014-01-19 15:38:22

We've got the cornerstone to Denver's pass defense down on the field. Let's cut to commercial without elaboration or replay.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:37:59

Anyone see what it was? Please don't be serious. We need you DRC, whiff tackle and all.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:37:59

We are cursed.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:37:30

DRC on the turf... is it time to panic and start the looting?

Posted by Random Anonymous Coward on 2014-01-19 15:37:27

These fucking injuries...

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:37:09

Taking them out of FG range. Risky.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:37:04

try to negate fg chance

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:36:58

Oh no!!!!!!

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:36:46

if we have to Send in Jammer we are so fucked

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:36:46

Well that god damn sucks

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:36:45

No decline?

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:36:37

Hoodie junior with no hoodie?

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:35:53

Great question.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:35:18

No wonder the pass rush isn´t getting there...

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:35:07

Whats a hold?

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:34:42

okay time for a stop.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:34:39

oh ffs DRC out?

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:34:07

Good lord, was Ayers ever held right there.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:34:05

New York > Rest of America :(

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:32:48

Adams got lucky there

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:32:34

Adams on Edelman is a risky scheme.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:32:33

phew

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:32:29

Bronco Fans can't be the only people who cant stand him, can we? Why is he still a thing?

Posted by Charles Burnette on 2014-01-19 15:32:09

They're too busy using Snapchat to counter PI.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:31:52

he acts like the players have known that the refs aren't calling shit for the past 6 quarters

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:31:35

As much hate as Phil Simms is getting, he's being very reasonable. Since you can't control the refs, you must play by their rules. In this case, you have to get physical with corners who are intent on holding you.

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:30:59

GO BRONCOS!!!

Posted by Rollston Frangopoulos on 2014-01-19 15:30:58

just wait until later and he's crying for a PI call

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:30:54

He had a point to clarify? What did I miss?

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:30:46

If their MO is to grab and hold in the red zone, where timing and space are tighter than ever, the refs need to flag these blatant holds.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:30:11

Phil finally clarified his point and it's a solid one... he sounds like an idiot even when he isn't.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:29:49

"you and I talked about it" meaning "you and I wrote it off"

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:29:20

He just needs to fight through the mugging, I suppose? Simple.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:29:18

Not that Thomas should give up and whine for the flag of course, but it's a penalty for a reason.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 15:28:57

little things can blow up a smooth running machine... recall how many holds and interferences Talib got away with in 1st game... same thing here for NE D. One bad play and one no-call = 3 points rather than 10-14

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:28:26

So according to Pheel Seems Julius Thomas needs to shake off the guy who's holding him. OK, then.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 15:27:50

Not good

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:26:32

Cant settle for 3! that no call was a killer

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:26:20

In playoffs, yes.

Posted by dextermilo on 2014-01-19 15:26:10

Eff you Simms. You have to expect terrible officiating?

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:25:30

BS no call. Absolute BS

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:25:14

how can you be touching that much without a flag?

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:24:58

Demaryius beat the Cov 2 with the best route possible. A seam/post.

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:23:57

Talib is gonna have a long day.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:23:52

Run defense is playing well for both sides

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:23:02

What's the best way to counter run-blitzes? How about slip and mid screens!

Posted by Dubs on 2014-01-19 15:22:03

God, that screen is pretty.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:21:46

Talib didn't want any of Julius

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:21:30

don't worry he will attempt to tackle Decker very soon and hurt himself

Posted by GreasyQtip on 2014-01-19 15:20:34

Well isnt everyone suprised and impressed?

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:20:34

Phil Simms seems impressed the Broncos are bothering to field 11 defensive players, as opposed to going out a DB short every play in Harris's absence. Sigh.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 15:19:54

stocked for the arnold SB commercial

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:19:25

And we're at the 15 again. and the NE punter injury hype was all bs.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:19:16

Three bad field position plays. Not good.

Posted by Chibronx on 2014-01-19 15:19:12

Great coverage!

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:18:31

There's our boy! Tony not jammer Carter!

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:18:26

Tony Carter sighting... nice coverage

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:18:25

Welcome back, Tony Carter!

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:18:21

Sticky man!!!!

Posted by Tim on 2014-01-19 15:18:13

an uncalled hold... no big deal happens most plays. but still.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:17:11

Beadles has really been struggling in the run game of late.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 15:17:09

Damn should've won field position battle to start There at least. Needed higher kick Britton. Was a sweet looking drive til that one busted running play. Some good signs at least.

Posted by underdog on 2014-01-19 15:15:55

Green was horrible as well.

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:15:28

That 2nd down run killed the drive. Beadles blocked nobody on it.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-01-19 15:15:01

dammit colquitt

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 15:14:41

Damn it!!

Posted by 53guys on 2014-01-19 15:14:08

My favorite NE beer is Long Trail. I have been to their brewpub on a ski outing in Vermont.

They said it was the calf earlier this week. I wouldn't be surprised if Nantz got that wrong. He was a trainwreck when he and Simms called the last Broncos game.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 14:24:27

Awesome sauce, seeing all four of those guys together. I still can't believe how blessed the Broncos are at receiver.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 14:20:11

Yeah, what the heck. That's not what I needed to hear right before the game.

Posted by Justin Weber on 2014-01-19 14:16:53

Nantz said DT injured knee in practice, not the calf tightness that was reported. Fuck...

Posted by Uncle Rico on 2014-01-19 14:16:31

Shannon Sharpe's interview with Broncos WRs and TEs starting now on CBS

Posted by Justin Weber on 2014-01-19 14:16:24

well crap... some sort of minor knee injury to DT.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 14:16:19

I'm so ready for this.

Posted by ronin_jubei on 2014-01-19 14:14:17

Yep. We need to take luck out of the equation and dictate what the Pats do all game long.

Posted by Justin Weber on 2014-01-19 13:59:35

Win this one for Champ. He needs a Super Bowl to cap off a Hall of Fame career

Posted by Charlie Kirkpatrick on 2014-01-19 13:58:22

Given Virgil Green's dominance in teh reg season game, plus whatever doghouse/injury he also had last week, I guess Dreesen inactive makes sense. The Cole inactive seems logical given his short tenure with the team, but also makes the move to sign him seem more Bellichik-like dirty pool.

Posted by Brian on 2014-01-19 13:55:06

I hope we stay aggressive all game long no matter the score. The only time I want to see three straight run plays is when Manning kneels the ball at the end.

Posted by Alexis on 2014-01-19 13:54:09

Came to the grocery store to kill some time and damn near missed the start of the game

Hey, if we win, can IAOFM make the winning pic that scene from Good Will Hunting where he shoves the phone number against the window and asks HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?!

Posted by WrathofChakaKhan on 2014-01-19 13:32:31

It's our time. I can't watch any of the pre-game stuff. Let's get it on already.

Posted by Justin Weber on 2014-01-19 13:30:36

i can't watch and listen to the coverage any longer, i can't imagine being one of these QBs. They have to boycott tv and radio altogether, right? I know I'm biased, but is anyone else just tired of Boston sports altogether? i hope we kick the $hit out of them and send them home sore...just having a hard time envisioning it.

Posted by brettod77 on 2014-01-19 13:27:09

All right, live blog early to kill some time. Beautiful day for a Broncos win!
